Scheme Recommendation

Payroll sits at the heart of automatic enrolment. From experience, we know an efficient payroll process is the key to painless automatic enrolment. As well as recommending a compliant scheme that works well for your employees we will make sure the scheme fully integrates with your payroll software. Where appropriate we will also make a payroll software recommendation.

One of our team will be on hand to discuss your recommendation and options.

Scheme Implementation

Once you’ve accepted our recommendation, we work directly with the scheme provider to set up your scheme. We then work with you or your payroll administrator to remotely configure the scheme within your payroll software and give you the support and training so you can administer your new scheme.

Finally, after your staging date we will confirm your compliance to The Pension Regulator by completing your online declaration.
